<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n65MN Spring Steel 13th Century Knightly Arming Sword<\/a><\/h5>\n\n\n\nHere’s the review a customer left for it from the first time we offered it, giving it a 4 star rating:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ok, so this is my first purchase from SBG. Ive been wanting a similar type sword for some time and saw the special and took the chance buying one. <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\nThe sword arrived very quickly and was well packaged preventing any damage. <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\nIt is a very good looking item, with a mirror finish blade and plain hand guard, grip and pommel. The scabbard is good and would make an excellent part of a display or costume, the attaching belt, not so much.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\nThe blade came razor sharp and was immediately bigger than I had anticipated. My example is 34 1\/2 inches long in total with a 2 inches at the base making it quite wide and was almost exactly 3 lbs. <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\nSeems like it would be a massively good cutting weapon, especially to unarmored flesh. I tried some practice cuts on my backyard pell but immediately stopped as I felt it was abusing the blade. However, I feel like it could cut pork chops, water bottles and melons all day and still have a good edge. I found my example to be dangerously sharp.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\nThe pommel is peened and grip\/ guard very solid.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\nThe handle is not very comfortable and is a downside. It fits one hand well and is almost long enough to be used two handed for average size hands.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\nThe pommel is plain and is unfinished making room for it to be personalized. <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\nI feel like if I had handled this in a shop I would have put it back instead of buying as it is larger and heavier than what I would have chosen.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\nFor example the Windlass Agincourt sword is slightly longer has a full two handed hilt and is still half a pound lighter.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\nAll in all an awesome sword, and I suspect a formidable cutter. Thanks SBG for a good first experience. <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\nNo problems! And if you want to take it a step fancier, we also have a Damascus folded version for just $229.99..<\/p>\n\n\n\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/sbg-sword-store.sword-buyers-guide.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/arming-folded-main.jpg\")
<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n65MN Spring Steel FOLDED 13th Century Knightly Arming Sword<\/a><\/h6>\n\n\n\nBasically the exact same sword, just with a more attractive blade and better suited to display, while the cheaper version is better for practical cutting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Take your pick, but don’t miss out – stocks are limited and the last restock was over a year ago from memory.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
When you consider the blades are made from well tempered 65mn Spring Steel, have iron fittings, genuine leather handle – and comes with a scabbard, belt and suspension for under $300, it’s pretty rare.
